WEST ORANGE -The Bridge City Lady Cardinals secured a 49-43 win against the West Orange-Stark Lady Mustangs in Tuesday night’s District 22-4A opener at Mustang Gym.
The game proved to be an exciting one, and Bridge City led 21-17 at the half.
However, the Lady Mustangs scored 22 points in the third quarter, with Toshianna Williams dropping eight of them. Bridge City battled back from a eight-point deficit in the fourth quarter though.
